Barely four months since the release of Kanye West's previous album, "Ye," the rapper alluded to a new project, "Yandhi," on Monday, tweeting a photo of an album cover accompanied by a date: Sept. 29.

Many fans are pointing to the cover art West shared for "Yandhi" as proof that the album is a sequel, or shares some kind of connection, to "Yeezus," his acclaimed 2013 release.

Here's everything we know so far about the album.

"Yandhi" is (likely) Kanye West's new album

While West hasn't confirmed that "Yandhi" is actually a collection of music -- as opposed to a video project, a fashion endeavor or any of the other artistic pursuits he's released into the world -- the album cover and release date he tweeted most obviously points to a new album. And West's other album announcements this year, including "Ye" and his project with Kid Cudi, "Kids See Ghosts," followed the same format -- a tweet with a title and release date, and nothing more.

Also on Monday, "Saturday Night Live" shared the news that West would be the musical guest on the show's season premiere on Sept. 29, the same date he attached to his "Yandhi" release. Furthering speculation of a new album, West also tweeted a photo of the show's running order, featuring the word "Yandhi" instead of his name.

Additionally, it's clear that West hasn't left the studio since the release of "Ye" in June, recently scoring a No. 1 hit with Lil Pump on their collaborative single "I Love It," so the idea that he's made time to record new songs -- or, more likely, had some leftover tracks that didn't make the cut for the abbreviated seven-song tracklist of "Ye" -- is totally plausible.

"Yandhi" is Kanye's followup to "Yeezus"

Beyond the two albums' similar album art and titles -- "Yeezus" is to Jesus as "Yandhi" is to Gandhi -- West's newly-announced release would confirm years' worth of speculation that the rapper is planning a sequel to "Yeezus."

Rick Rubin, the megaproducer who worked on "Yeezus," told the Daily Beast in a 2013 interview that he encouraged West to edit the album down to 10 songs and save the remaining material for a followup album. Later that year, he confirmed to Genius that he and West discussed releasing an alternate version of "Yeezus."

"Because there are so many versions of songs, great versions," he said. "There are versions just as good as what’s on the album, just different. I know as a fan of the album, I’d like to hear that. Maybe some day, whenever he wants. But it exists! That (expletive) exists."

Kanye will perform "Yandhi" tracks on "Saturday Night Live"

With the "Yandhi" release date aligning with West's "SNL" appearance, West hinted he'd be giving the album's material the live treatment in his tweet about the show. Besides, the rapper has a long history of performing new music on "SNL," including "POWER" and "Runaway" from "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" in 2010 and "Highlights" and "Ultralight Beam" from "The Life of Pablo" in 2016, announcing the release of "Pablo" on Twitter after his performance.

Kanye is planning another album with Chance the Rapper

"Yandhi" may not be the only new collection of music fans hear from West this fall. West made a surprise onstage appearance with Chance the Rapper in Chicago on Monday, telling the crowd, "Me and Chance working on a new album. It's called 'Good Ass Job.'"

"Good Ass Job" is a familiar phrase to West fans, an album name West has periodically used as a stand-in title for his forthcoming releases. At various points in his career, West has claimed that his "Graduation," "808s & Heartbreak" and "My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy" albums would all be titled "Good Ass Job" at first, before eventually changing their names. So whether his and Chance's album will actually receive that title, or whether West is using it as another placeholder, remains to be seen.
